DJI Osmo Action 6 Has Arrived: The World’s First Variable Aperture Action Camera
DJI has officially unveiled the Osmo Action 6, a groundbreaking action camera that introduces industry-first features such as a variable aperture, a new 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensor, and enhanced low-light performance.
DJI Osmo Action 6
The Osmo Action 6 is DJI’s first action camera to feature a variable aperture (f/2.0–f/4.0), giving creators superior low-light performance and creative exposure control. Combined with DJI’s custom 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensor and 2.4 μm fusion large pixels, the camera delivers a major leap in clarity, detail, and dynamic range.
Key Aperture Features:
- Adjustable Aperture Modes: Up to f/2.0 for better low-light capture
- Auto Mode: Automatically adapts aperture to different lighting conditions
- Starburst Mode: Enhances point light sources, creating striking star-shaped highlights in city shots
DJI offers new accessories to expand creative possibilities:
- Macro Lens: Reduces minimum focus distance from 35 cm to 11 cm for crisp close-ups of food, pets, or details
- FOV Boost Lens: Expands the native 155° field of view to 182° for immersive POV footage
Flagship-Level Image Quality with New Sensor
The Osmo Action 6’s 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor delivers up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range and supports 4K/120fps recording in 4:3. With larger pixels and advanced noise reduction, the camera excels in extremely dark environments.
- SuperNight Mode: Captures detailed 4K/60fps night footage with vivid colors and preserved shadow detail
- 10-bit D-Log M: Maintains highlight and shadow detail with real-time preview
4K Custom Mode: Shoot Once, Crop Anywhere
Powered by DJI’s square sensor, the new 4K Custom Mode lets creators shoot first and crop later into any aspect ratio. This feature is ideal for multi-platform content creation, ensuring footage fits TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and traditional formats without repositioning the camera. Apart from that, it’s also built for extreme environments:
- IP68 waterproof rating: Waterproof up to 20 m (60 m with case)
